Parthenon Marbles: Greece's Heritage in British Museum Sparks Dispute #BritishMuseum #colonialism #culturalheritage #Greece #ParthenonMarbles

I’d disagree with anyone who said they wasn’t passionate about something. Me, #StoneCarving and I found the best tool shop 👉 https://m.facebook.com/ErgaleiaMarmaroglyptikesSculptureTools 👈👀 #Athens 👉👉 https://www.kollaros.gr/en/ 👈👀 This guy supplies most of the restoration sites across #Greece including the #Acropolis and has worked with some of the top #Sculptors in the world. We had an hour long conversation me no #Greek, him no English, about tools, marble, carving and #sculptures My new favourite place. The chisels are much cheaper than the UK and look a better quality. Can’t wait to start with them on the #Pentelic #PentelicMarble #EverythingIsConnected Next stop @nordiamarble to order the stone. I’m still up for deposits of £250, to help me kickstart the project then a £500 final payment + shipping for one of the finished sculptures. That’s half price of what I’ll retail them at the end. It’ll be a year long project, I’ll be looking to exhibit them here in Athens with a catalogue so not only are they loaded with the history of the stone but they’ll also have a good provenance #StoneCarving #Stone #Marble #Parthenon #ParthenonMarbles (at Athens, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqw4UWF4CN/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m back on the tools! Thank you so much @danielpeace for helping me with the studio ❤️ I’ve still got a last couple of pre sale sculptures on offer £250 deposit, £500 +pp when finished and exhibited here in #Athens this summer that will help me get some much needed tools #PentelicMarble supplied by @nordiamarble #ParthenonMarbles #Acropolis #NewStudio #Atelier #Metaxourgeio #Greece (at Μεταξουργείο) https://www.instagram.com/p/CacbjWxM5LI/?utm_medium=tumblr

**Sculpture Update** I’ve moved into my new studio. I now need to build a couple of banker/carving tables and replace some tools. A massive thank you to my buyers/patrons so far, ☺️🙏 I’m now opening up three more pre-sale offers to raise some much needed cash to buy tools, materials and print room hire. (Details below) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ A massive thank you again to @nordiamarble and the yard manager. Pentelic marble is A1 grade stone and these blocks are A1 cuts from that. #PentelicMarble is quarried 12 miles north west of #Athens and it’s loaded with history 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pentelicus ⬅️👀 Apparently it’s so good the Romans exported it to Rome for some of their best buildings and sculptures. The #Acropolis, #Parthenon and #ParthenonMarbles are also made from this stone 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acropolis_of_Athens ⬅️👀 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_Marbles ⬅️👀 I’m creating a new body of work working on small blocks, a series of 20 pieces, 30x15x15cms and carving the same forms I did in the UK from limestone (pictures on my Instagram), also a series of paintings, screen prints and collagraph prints. but to help me further subsidise this project, I’m going to offer up to 3 sculptures for a £250 deposit then £500 final payment + shipping when finished. As I have a few galleries interested in my work here in Athens, the retail price for individual pieces this size, going through them when the project is complete, will be £3,000 each. This is going to be a one year project, making the artworks with the intention of exhibiting them in a show here in Athens, with a catalogue, that will give all the finished pieces a good provenance. #Sculptor #SculptorsOfInstagram #Pentelic #Marble #StoneCarving #Carving #Artist #Kerameikos #Metaxourgeio #Athens #Greece (at Μεταξουργείο) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaMvN4WsGm_/?utm_medium=tumblr
